You should be able to tell you person at Ace or any other key place that you need a B10 Key. The original GM label keys are nice but with the stiff asking prices for original blanks I can't see the point of wasting the money when you can get a good working key for a couple of bucks. Leave that 45 bucks a pair stuff for the gotta have it all perfect restorers.

Personally I like going to Lowes for keys as they have a setup that they insert your key in to make sure that the grooves are right and you stand a lot better chance of getting the right key but I did get a key made for my boat at Ace this morning that works great.
